  2. Learning OutcomesAfter completing the chapter, you will be able to: • Differentiate between low- and high-order goods and services. • Construct and interpret a scatter diagram using a logarithmic scale. • Estimate the minimum market size necessary to support a central place function. • Relate high- and low-order goods and services to a city’s position in the urban hierarchy. • Use a geographic information system (GIS) to modify market areas.

  17. Definitions of Key Terms • Central Place: A city or town that provides goods and services to the surrounding population. • Central Place Function: A good or service that a central place provides. • Central Place Theory: A geographic model of the sizes and location patterns of settlements that serve as central locations for selling goods and services to hexagonal-shaped market areas. • Market Area: The area in which residents favor a given central place over its competitors when shopping for a good or service.

  18. Order: The relative ranking of a central place function based on how specialized it is. • Range: The maximum distance people are willing to travel to obtain a central place function. • Threshold: The minimum market size needed to support a central place function. • Urban Hierarchy: A system of cities consisting of various levels, with few cities at the top level and increasingly more settlements on each lower level. The position of a city within the hierarchy is determined by the types of central place functions it provides.
